Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the root פָּלַט (palat), meaning "to escape" or "to deliver."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G2641 (καταλείπω, kataleipō): This Greek term means "to leave behind" or "to forsake," often used in the New Testament to describe a remnant or those left behind.
• G4991 (σωτηρία, sōtēria): This Greek word translates to "salvation" or "deliverance," reflecting the broader concept of being saved or rescued, often with spiritual connotations.

The Hebrew concept of פְלֵיטָה (p̱elēṭāh) and its Greek counterparts together illustrate the biblical theme of God's deliverance and the preservation of a faithful remnant, a theme that resonates throughout both the Old and New Testaments.

Usage: The term פְלֵיטָה (p̱elēṭāh) is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote a remnant or group of survivors who have escaped from danger or destruction. It often carries the connotation of divine deliverance or preservation.

Context: פְלֵיטָה (p̱elēṭāh) appears in various contexts throughout the Hebrew Scriptures, often associated with the concept of a remnant that survives calamity or judgment. This term is frequently used in prophetic literature to describe those who are spared by God's mercy during times of divine judgment or national disaster. For example, in Isaiah 4:2, the survivors in Zion are referred to as a remnant that will be called holy. Similarly, in Obadiah 1:17, the house of Jacob is promised deliverance on Mount Zion.

The concept of פְלֵיטָה (p̱elēṭāh) underscores the theme of hope and restoration, emphasizing that even in the midst of judgment, God preserves a faithful remnant. This remnant is often seen as the seed for future restoration and blessing, highlighting God's ongoing covenantal faithfulness to His people.

In the historical books, such as 2 Kings 19:30-31, the term is used to describe those who escape the Assyrian invasion, indicating a physical deliverance from military threat. The notion of פְלֵיטָה (p̱elēṭāh) thus serves as a powerful reminder of God's ability to save and preserve His people against overwhelming odds.
